Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQX: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update of the Company’s flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Coppet-Cobalt Project. The drill program is designed to test the on strike and down dip potential for additional nickel sulphide mineralization to enhance the size and grade of the Kenbridge Deposit.

A total of 3,350m of drilling has been completed to date. The first 4 drill targets have been completed (drill holes KB26-207, KB-208, KB-209 and KB-210 outlined on Figure 1). Samples have been delivered to AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay for analysis. Assays are pending for hole KB26-210. The drill rig is currently drilling the 5th drill hole KB26-211. This hole is designed to be drilled below the existing shaft bottom to test for the depth extension to the deposit.

Reported in this release are the results from the 3rd infill drill hole KB26-209. Results from the hole confirm both A and B zones were intersected as outlined in the Table 1 below. Zone A was intersected from 823.6 to 825.0m drill depth and returned 0.31% Ni, 0.26% Cu over 1.4 metres. Zone B was intersected from 862.5m to 865.5m drill depth. Results were 2.17% Ni, 1.45% Cu over 3.0 metres. Drill core intersection widths are estimated to be between 65 and 80% true width.

Qualified Person

The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Dean MacEachern, P. Geo., an Independent Consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

QA/QC

Sample QA/QC procedures for Tartisan have been designed to meet or exceed industry standards. Drill core is collected from the diamond drill and placed in sealed core trays for transport to on-site sampling and core cutting facilities. The core is logged and samples taken from 0.3m to a maximum sample length of 1.5m. The core samples are split with a diamond blade saw with continuous running water, half of the sample is sent for lab testing, and the remaining half core is left in the core box for record or further sampling. The core samples are bagged in heavy plastic bags with 6 samples being placed into a rice bag for transport to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON or Calgary, AB for assay. Samples are submitted in batches of 50. 100g blind certified reference materials (CRMs) from CDN Resources, as well as, duplicates and blank samples are systematically inserted by the Company into the sample stream with reference to the mineralization in the sampled rock and analyzed as part of the Company’s quality assurance/quality control protocol, as well, AGAT labs implements their own quality control testing by inserting their own CRMs and Blanks in the sample stream for accredited testing.

All drill core samples were prepped and analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario or shipped to Calgary for testing. An ISO/IEC 17025 2017 certified independent laboratory from organizations like the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). They maintain accreditations across their facilities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec and internationally.

NQ-diameter sawed half-core samples from the drilling program were securely sent by Tartisan Nickel Corp’s geologists to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT), with sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and analysis in Thunder Bay, Ontario & Calgary, Alberta. Samples were processed for Au, Pt and Pd analysis by 50-gram fire assay with ICP-OES finish and for four acid digestion, multi-element analysis by inductively coupled plasma & mass spectrometry (ICP OES + MS). AGAT sample preparation and laboratory analysis procedures conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet the requirements under NI 43-101 and CIM best practice guidelines. AGAT Laboratories is independent of Tartisan Nickel Corp.

Samples were dried and crushed to 2 mm, from which a 250 g sub-sample split was then pulverized to 85% passing a 75 micron sieve. Following preparation, assays were determined by the ICP OES method. A 0.25 g aliquot of the prepared pulp was digested in a 4-acid solution consisting of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. 4-acid is a near total digest and only the most highly resistant minerals are not dissolved. The resulting solution was analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-ES for 8 elements and was corrected for inter-element spectral interferences. Lower detection limits for this procedure are 0.01 ppm for nickel, 0.01 ppm for copper, 0.01 ppm for cobalt, 0.01 ppm for platinum, 0.01 ppm palladium, 0.01 ppm silver and 0.01 ppm for gold.

Samples with initial results beyond the upper detection limit of the ICP OES method were analyzed by (201-071) 4 acid digest – Metals Package, ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish (CGY). The thresholds are >1% for nickel, copper and cobalt. AGAT Laboratories employs internal quality control standards, duplicates and blank samples at set frequencies. Tartisan Nickel Corp. stores all its drilled core on-site and takes pride in its facilities and strives for excellence in its QA/QC procedures.

Additionally, Tartisan Nickel Corp. will be at PDAC 2026 March 1^st to 4^th 2026 hosting Booth 2633. We welcome everyone to come and learn more about Tartisan and our 2026 initiatives.

USANewsGroup.com Market Intelligence Brief —

WHAT’S HAPPENING:

The infrastructure holding the global economy together is being stress-tested in real time:

• Gold at $5,552 per ounce as central banks loaded another 755 tonnes into reserves [1]
• The G7 issued formal guidance treating the quantum threat to current encryption as a ‘systemic concern’ [2]
• The FDA cleared a record 295 AI-powered medical devices in a single calendar year [3]
• The functional wellness category accelerating toward $179 billion as consumers reject legacy formats for precision delivery [4]

The common thread is structural replacement. Old systems are failing. New ones are being installed. This report profiles five companies positioned at the installation point.

THE ENCRYPTION UPGRADE — CSE: QSE / OTCQB: QSEGF

Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) builds the migration tools enterprises need to survive the quantum transition. The G7’s January 2026 guidance made it plain: current encryption is a systemic vulnerability, and organizations that wait will be caught exposed.

Earlier this month, QSE formalized its three-stage Enterprise Post-Quantum Migration Methodology, delivered through its Quantum Preparedness Assessment platform. The system provides a post-quantum compliancy dashboard with risk indicators mapped to compliance frameworks, guided data input workflows, and automated scoring. It integrates alongside existing cybersecurity architectures without wholesale system replacement.

The financial and infrastructure sectors are the primary targets. The methodology gives enterprises measurable indicators and visibility into where they stand, turning an abstract threat into a structured remediation plan.

THE GOLD STANDARD — TSX: RUA,OTC:NZAUF / OTCQB: NZAUF

Rua Gold Inc. (TSX: RUA,OTC:NZAUF) (OTCQB: NZAUF) just uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange and closed an oversubscribed $25 million financing, giving the company ~C$38 million in available cash to drill across two gold projects in New Zealand.

The company’s recent outlook confirmed four drill rigs operating across the Reefton Goldfield, targeting resource expansion at Auld Creek and new discovery across the historic 2Moz past-producing district. RUA is targeting a Fast-Track mining permit referral in Q1 2026, with a regulatory decision expected in Q2. New Zealand just joined the international Minerals Security Partnership, aligning government policy with RUA’s development timeline.

The Reefton Goldfield carries gold-antimony mineralization. Antimony is classified as a critical mineral by multiple governments, adding a strategic dimension to the resource base. An updated NI 43-101 Technical Report is expected by month-end.

THE DIAGNOSTIC SIGNAL — TSXV: VPT / OTCPK: VPTDF

VentriPoint Diagnostics (TSXV: VPT) (OTCPK: VPTDF) is commercializing AI-powered cardiac imaging that delivers MRI-grade heart chamber analysis from a standard ultrasound. The FDA cleared VMS+ 4.0 via 510(k) in February 2025, and the company has spent the last twelve months building the commercial infrastructure to scale it.

Recently, VentriPoint provided a corporate update confirming advancement across multiple fronts: U.S. go-to-market refinement, ongoing distributor alignment in Europe and the UK, integration discussions with ASCEND Cardiovascular, collaboration with the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation for system placements, and continued work with Lishman Global on China market entry. A shareholder videoconference is scheduled for later this month.

The 295 AI medical device clearances the FDA issued in 2025 confirm the regulatory environment is open. VentriPoint is building from that cleared position into clinical adoption.

THE DELIVERY MECHANISM — CSE: MOOD / OTCPK: DOSEF

Doseology Sciences Inc. (CSE: MOOD) (OTCPK: DOSEF) is building precision oral delivery systems for the functional wellness category. The company appointed Larry Latowsky as Executive Chairman earlier this month. Latowsky previously served as President and CEO of Katz Group Canada, the parent of Rexall-Pharma Plus, IDA, and Guardian Drug stores, operating 1,500 pharmacy locations nationally before a ~C$3 billion acquisition by McKesson.

In late January, Doseology began pilot production of non-nicotine, caffeine-based energy pouches under its Feed That Brain brand. The pouch format delivers measured, portion-controlled energy without sugar, carbonation, or large-volume consumption. A direct-to-consumer launch is expected within weeks.

The $179 billion functional beverage rotation is real. Doseology is attacking it with a pharmacy-grade governance team and a delivery platform designed for precision, not intensity.

THE TERRITORIAL PLAY — CSE: GGR / OTCQB: GGRFF

Golden Goose Resources Corp. (CSE: GGR) (OTCQB: GGRFF) just expanded its investor access by listing on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol GGRFF. DTC eligibility is pending.

The company controls three exploration-stage gold projects across two jurisdictions: the Gran Esperanza Project (~44,000 hectares, Río Negro, Argentina), the Goldfire Project (4,680 hectares, Windfall Camp, Quebec, near Gold Fields’ Windfall deposit), and the El Quemado Project (46 mining concessions, ~58,000 hectares, Salta Province, Argentina).

With gold above $5,500, junior explorers with defined land packages in proven districts are the leverage play on the commodity cycle. The OTCQB listing gives U.S. investors a direct line.

(TheNewswire)

GRANDE PRAIRIE, ALBERTA (February 24, 2026) TheNewswire – Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK,OTC:ANKOF) (‘ANGKOR’ OR ‘THE COMPANY’) announces the completion of a trenching and sampling program at the CZ Gold Prospect in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia.

As previously announced (see Angkor Resources ADVANCES EXPLORATION ON CZ GOLD AND WILD BOAR PROSPECTS, ANDONG MEAS LICENSE, CAMBODIA), the Company’s mineral exploration team initiated a large-scale trenching program at the CZ Gold Prospect, located on the west side of the Canada Wall prospect. The program is designed to determine the geology, structure and orientation of the quartz stockwork zone and its wall rocks, and to collect representative samples for analysis.

The trenching program consisted of twelve trenches excavated across the CZ Gold Prospect area. Each trench measured approximately five meters in length, two meters in width, and five meters in depth. Due to the steep slope and required depth of the trenches, the Company made the decision to utilize excavation equipment to safely and efficiently complete the program.

Figure 1: The slope and depth of the trenches contributed to the decision of using equipment for the excavation program at the CZ Gold Prospect.

The excavation process involves digging each trench to the target depth, at which point Angkor’s field team entered the trench to collect samples directly from the exposed geology, including veining and stockwork visible in the trench walls. Once sampling was complete, the team exited the trench and all samples are marked, bagged, and prepared for testing and analysis on the surface. As soon as sampling was finished at each location, the trenches were filled in and the site was restored.

Figure 2: Angkor staff sorting sample material and preparing samples for sieving, analysis, and testing,

The Company collected 298 samples of veins, side walls, and cross sections from the twelve trenches. Each sample will be split into three parts for different methods of analysis: one part for panning in the creek adjacent to the prospect, one part for portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, and one part for fire assay. This multi-method approach is intended to provide a comprehensive geochemical characterization of the stockwork zone and to evaluate gold content across the target area.

The Company completed sampling this weekend and has started several weeks of analysis of the samples before interpretation of the data can be completed.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2026 / NextSource Materials Inc. (‘NextSource‘ or the ‘Company‘) (TSX:NEXT,OTC:NSRCF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement offering (the ‘Offering‘) of units of the Company (the ‘Units‘) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$24,999,987, issuing 58,823,500 Units at a price of $0.425 per Unit.

The Offering was oversubscribed due to strong investor demand, with investor allocation capped by the final amount of C$24,999,987. Vision Blue Resources Ltd. (‘Vision Blue‘) purchased 27,944,464 Units under the Offering to maintain its pro rata ownership in the Company.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used to advance the UAE Battery Anode Facility, update the Molo technical report and for general corporate purposes as disclosed in the offering document.

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.55 per Common Share for a period beginning 61 days after the date hereof and expiring 36 months following the date hereof.

The Units distributed in connection with the Offering were issued and sold in accordance with the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the ‘LIFE Exemption‘). A copy of the offering document related to the Offering is available to access under the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.nextsourcematerials.com. In accordance with the LIFE Exemption, the Units issued in connection with the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Offering was conducted on a ‘best-efforts’ basis by Stifel Canada, acting as lead agent and sole bookrunner, and Maxim Group LLC, as co-agent (the ‘Agents‘).

The participation of Vision Blue in the Offering constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company has determined that the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of securities issued to Vision Blue nor the consideration paid by Vision Blue exceeded 25 percent of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the transaction 21 days in advance of closing of the Offering because Vision Blue’s participation had not been confirmed. The shorter period was necessary in order to permit the Company to close the Offering in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.

Forte Minerals Corp. (‘Forte’ or the ‘Company’) (CSE: CUAU,OTC:FOMNF) (OTCQB: FOMNF) (Frankfurt: 2OA) a Canadian copper and gold exploration company focused on Peru, is pleased to announce that it will exhibit at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (‘PDAC’) Convention 2026, taking place March 1–4, 2026 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto.

Visit Forte Minerals Corp at Booth 2736 in the Investors Exchange (South Building).

PDAC is the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention, attracting more than 27,000 participants from over 125 countries, including institutional investors, mining executives, government representatives, analysts, and technical professionals.

Alto Ruri Gold Project: High Sulfidation Epithermal System in Peru

The Alto Ruri Gold Project is located approximately 15 kilometres south of Barrick Gold’s Pierina Mine, which is currently in its closure and reclamation phase following more than two decades of production.

Pierina demonstrated the presence of a robust high-sulfidation epithermal gold system within Peru’s Cordillera Negra belt. Alto Ruri shares similar geological characteristics, including vuggy silica and advanced argillic alteration, supporting the potential for a preserved epithermal system within the same regional corridor.

The Alto Ruri Gold Project comprises approximately 4,700 hectares of wholly owned mineral concessions situated within Peru’s prolific Miocene Tertiary Volcanic Arc, host to multiple world-class gold and copper deposits.

Initial drilling by Compañía de Minas Buenaventura in 1997 included 12 shallow drill holes totaling 2,254.5 metres. (Refer to the Company’s news release – March 4th, 2024).

The most significant intercept from Hole 001-97 returned

• 131 metres grading 2.55 g/t gold from surface, including
• 54 metres grading 5.39 g/t gold

These results were re-assayed in 2011, confirming the presence of a well-developed high-sulfidation epithermal system associated with vuggy silica and advanced argillic alteration.
